You may also "opt out" of having to read any Justin Bieber posts by following the steps below.
1. Click the close button on your browser window.
2. If any offending Bieber memories remain in your brain at this point, simply knock them out with a ball peen hammer.
Inspired by the absolutely selfless actions of Yellow Pages, I'll be creating a web site that allows people to opt-out from receiving my flaming shit bags in exchange for some of their personal data...
@WSH: I know this is totally juvenile and has nothing to do with the above post, but I've always found the term "ball peen hammer" to sound sort of snicker-worthy.
This is actually a pretty bad idea, on many levels:
1. There's no guarantee that they will not resell this information, as the twatterer mentioned. Or secure it in a proper encrypted format. Or really not just fuck your shit up in any other numerous ways companies do with your data.
2. They now have much more marketable information than they had previously. Why does the phone directory company even get to do this when I haven't owned a landline in ~9 years? Fuck that shit on principle alone.
3. We shouldn't have to do this. It should be opt-in, always. In fact, what I do when I get these phone books is toss them into the middle of the mother-fucking street.
My advice is to civilly disobey the acceptance of these books until everyone is required to opt-in.
